FLUSHING, N.Y., July 6, 2025 – Major Leage Baseball today announced that first baseman Pete Alonso and RHP Edwin Díaz will join starting shortstop Francisco Lindor on the National League All-Star team. The 95th All-Star Game will take place on Tuesday, July 15 in Atlanta.
Alonso was named to the All-Star team for the fifth time in his career, the most by any first baseman in team history – two more than Keith Hernandez.
Alonso becomes the sixth player in franchise history to be named to five or more All-Star teams, joining Tom Seaver (nine), David Wright (seven), Mike Piazza (seven), Darryl Strawberry (seven) and Carlos Beltrán (five).
Díaz was named to an All-Star team for the third time in his career and second as a member of the Mets (also in 2022). He was an American League All-Star in 2018 with Seattle.
Lindor was announced as the National League starting shortstop on July 2. Lindor will make his first trip to the Midsummer Classic as a member of the Mets and his fifth overall after making four straight American League All-Star teams with Cleveland from 2016-19.
Lindor will become the third Mets shortstop to start for the National League, joining Buddy Harrelson (1971) and José Reyes (2007). Reyes was named a starter in 2011, but was injured and didn’t start.
If you don't have tickets for the David Wright Number Retirement Game, are a wrestling fan, and like fun events, like to help out the future baseball players/fans then you should definitely hit this up.

This is so wholesome. I'm very happy for this kid. You can see how excited he was to be a part of that whole little segment.
Would moving the QBC to Long Island a deal breaker for you to attend even if it helps bring in more contemporary players?

ALL FANS WELCOME!
Tailgate with us on Saturday July 5th! You don't need to be sitting with The 7 Line Army to tailgate together. Let's get the good vibes started in the parking lot and hopefully they continue until last pitch. Food, drinks, games, music and more in the Marina Lot.
Just in case of bad weather, there is also a large covered area under the highway that'll keep us dry if needed, so don't be scared if a sprinkle is in the forecast.
If you didn't get tickets to the game yet, we have a small handful left HERE.
The Mets will take on the Yankees at 4:10pm, and we'll start wrapping up in the lot around 3:30 to get inside before first pitch. We expect fans to start showing up at around noon for the tailgate. Get there early to secure a spot and to beat the traffic.
NEW FOR 2025! If you missed the news, we have two new partners for 2025. Blue Point and Montauk Breweries are now the official beer sponsors of The 7 Line Army! We couldn't be happier to welcome these two great local brands into the mix. Swing by to responsibly wash down a couple cold ones. FREE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! (21+ only). We have a ton of great things planned with them this season.
Freddy P will be serving up his delicious Tailgate Empanadas and wings! Get your pre-order in by Thursday!
If you're unsure where the Marina Lot is, you can type "Marina East, Corona, NY 11368" in to Google Maps, or look at this map... PARK NEAR THE PIN WHILE SPACE ALLOWS
If you'd like to bring your own grills, drinks, and snacks, of course you're more than welcome to, BUT please respect the lot and make sure you CLEAN UP after yourselves.
Also, nobody likes a mooch, so please don't go rummaging through coolers that don't belong to you (besides the big one we bring). If you're feeling generous and you'd like to share, that's totally your call.
